Vincent Kompany will be given the honour of lifting the Premier League title for Manchester City - despite being reduced to a bit part role this season.

The Belgian international has endured another injury-wrecked campaign so far - starting just 10 times in the league.

Despite recovering from his latest calf injury, he faces a battle to hold down a regular place in Pep Guardiola's team following the club record £57m signing of Aymeric Laporte.

With John Stones and Nicolas Otamendi also competing to be part of Guardiola’s first choice central defence, Kompany faces the biggest test of his City career.

Fernandinho and David Silva have worn the captain's armband for large parts of the season during Kompany's absence - but as club captain, he will still lift what will be his third league title at the Etihad.
